Saagar Enjeti praises Yang for cautioning Democrats on impeachment

We have three TVs in our offices here at The Hill, and they are all tuned into the major cable networks.

Almost always without fail, in the middle of the day, stories about impeachment are splashed across all three chyrons. Every network has a congressman or correspondent live from Capitol Hill breathlessly reciting their latest takeaway from a transcript or scrap of information that they coaxed out of a friendly staffer.

Now, establishment Democrats see this and they decide they must of course pounce, this is the most important story of their lifetimes after-all right? Wrong. Literally nobody on the campaign trail cares about impeachment from the candidates to the voters, so much so that even people in the mainstream media are beginning to take notice and marvel at what they think is the ignorance of the American public.

Listen to this from a CNN dispatch via Wisconsin.

You can just see how puzzled they are. I mean look at this tweet from Caitlin Huey Burns of CBS News.

Who attended four presidential town halls over the last two days where the issue of impeachment did not come up once. She notes that two weeks ago while she was in Iowa and attended three at that time, impeachment also did not come up. It's almost like voters are trying to send a message, they don't give a damn about impeachment.

Weird, Yang must be watching Rising, or maybe he just has some common sense. The media and establishment Democrats insistence on not only pursuing impeachment, but thinking it is worthy of bringing the issue at the top of the American people’s mind, is maybe why things are not going so well right now in the 2020 race.
